Trees…words
trees
hold the knowledge
of the earth
within them
they are the
recorders
of the past

every now and then
we come across a magic tree
they’re easy to spot
even if you’re not looking
for them
they seem female
to me
at least in form
ruffling their leaves
and sending out
happy vibes
all trees are magical
but only some of them
are made of magic
and if you do come across one
be sure to share your own magic
with her
they really like that
you just put your arms around her
and lean in
telling her to take what she needs
and don’t worry
they never take too much
it’s just an exchange
of love
and connection

most people don’t realize that trees
aren’t always what they seem to be
most trees are friendly
helpful
and kind
but others
are just plain
hungry
so when Tod got too close
the tree simply grabbed him
and no matter how hard he tried
he could not escape
the police looked for him
his parents
and their friends
searched high and low
but he was never found
nowadays
every time someone
walks past the tree
they quicken their pace
and think
to themselves
that tree
is definitely
more than it
seems to be

do the trees sleep in
on mornings like this
drowsing in the mist
enjoying the dewy air
do they snuggle
and pull their branches closer
do they love the silence
that surrounds them
or do they spend their time
dreaming
longing for the sun
there’s is a place called
HUNGRY TREES
it’s a place like no other
it’s beautiful there
the trees are huge
happy and healthy
the reason
of course
is because
each night
they dine
on stars

this beauty’s not for everyone
especially at night
the trees look
king of menacing
packed close
and so so tight
for a city girl
it’s hard to breath
the woods go on
forever
and who can say
what lurks beneath
the branches
in that weather

a hush
spread through the forest
squirrels stopped scampering
birds held back their songs
and the air stilled
as a child
eyes wide
held out her arms
looked at the trees
and shouted
YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL
AND I LOVE YOU
I know you can hear me
she whispered
I know you’re alive
and the trees
reached out
and brushed against her
as she walked
bestowing their
blessings
and marking her
as one of their own
